6.6 Using Spb GPRS Monitor

Spb GPRS Monitor measures the amount of data transfers that you have made via GPRS or a phone dial-up connection, and calculates network usage costs. Using this program, you can monitor how much data you have sent and received on your device, and check the network usage costs by taking into account your service plan details: inclusive data amount, data block size, etc. You can also view connection cost and traffic charts, generate reports of network connection usage, and export reports to CSV files for use with Microsoft® Excel and Access.

Install GPRS Monitor

The GPRS Monitor program is included on the CD. To install it onto your device, run the program’s installer on your computer. Follow the on-screen instructions on your computer and your device to complete the installation.

After you have installed GPRS Monitor on your device, you will find its program icon in Start > Programs. In addition, GPRS Monitor is also added to the Today screen as a plug-in. This plug-in shows connection statistics, a brightness panel, battery panel, and shortcut icons.
